Douglas Munro: An Ordinary Hero

A short video about the Coast Guard's only Medal of Honor recipient. Douglas A. Munro, a signalman first class of the United States Coast Guard, died heroically on Guadalcanal on 27 September 1942. Having volunteered to evacuate a detachment of Marines who were facing annihilation by an unanticipated large enemy force, he succeeded in safely extricating them and in doing so was mortally wounded. U.S. Coast Guard video.
